About
WALL-E (stylized as WALL·E) is a platform video game developed by three studios; Heavy Iron Studios, Asobo Studio and Helixe, all responsible for different platforms, and all published by THQ. The games are based on a slightly earlier version of the 2008 film of the same name, so some key scenes do not match up with the film release. The game received mixed reviews, however the version of the game developed by Asobo Studio was received more positively.

Gameplay
The PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 versions feature nine explorable levels. The Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable versions feature twenty-four levels, and the Nintendo DS features fourteen explorable worlds. The Wii is the only version of the game that features 3 head-to-head multiplayer modes, while the Nintendo DS version features co-op modes playable as WALL-E or EVE. As the player plays through the levels of the Nintendo DS version, they unlock clips from the movie viewable at any time.
The Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable versions allow the player to use music to summon reject bots throughout the game. The story mode is based on an earlier version of the film with some creative liberties also taken, as the character's roles are different from the movie. GO-4 survives and tries to steal the plant when the Axiom lands on Earth, EVE is tasered by AUTO, WALL-E repairing EVE (EVE tries to repair WALL-E in the original) and WALL-E survives from getting crushed by the Holo-Detector. The reversal of EVE and WALL-E being damaged was actually intended to occur in the movie, but was later changed.
Story
The video game closely follows the same plot as the film. In 2805, Earth is covered in garbage and abandoned, while people are evacuated by mega-corporation Buy N Large on giant star-liners. BnL has left behind WALL-E robot trash compactors to clean up the mess, but they all eventually stopped functioning, except one unit, which has gained sentience. One day, WALL-E discovers a plant in a refrigerator and comes across an uncrewed spaceship that deploys an EVE probe to scan the planet for life, with little success.
WALL-E is infatuated with EVE, who is initially hostile after she almost shoots him, but immediately befriends him. As a sandstorm sweeps across the city, WALL-E and EVE make their way through the storm, where they must defeat a malfunctioning WALL-A along the way. After reaching WALL-E's truck, he shows her many of his things, along with the plant. She suddenly takes the plant and goes into standby mode, leaving WALL-E wondering why she shut down, and he leaves her on the truck's roof.
Development
Publisher THQ, in collaboration with the Emirati company Pluto Games, released a localized edition of WALL-E in the Middle East, making the game the first Western video game to be officially translated into Arabic. This was done as a strategy to appeal to the local gamers in their mother tongue, and commit to releasing more localized games in the region in future. The Arabic translated edition is available on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and Xbox 360, even though WALL-E in general is still available on all other platforms. The Arabic translated edition of the game was released on June 27, 2008.
Reception
All versions of the game were met with average reviews. Reviewing the Xbox 360 version, IGN concluded that rather than buying the game, "this may be an instance where you wait for the DVD, or go see the movie again instead". As of July 30, 2008, the game has sold over one million copies. The PlayStation 2 version was nominated as one of the "Most Surprisingly Good Game" and "Best Use of a Creative License" by GameSpot's "Best of 2008" awards, but did not win either.
